Ant Group taps USDC—Stablecoins going mainstream?
On July 10, market sources revealed Ant Group plans to integrate Circle’s stablecoins (like USDC) into its global platform.
🔍 Why this matters:
1️⃣ Circle’s USDC gains another major institutional backer
2️⃣ Ant’s global reach means stablecoins are entering real-world cross-border payments
3️⃣ A Chinese fintech giant partnering with a U.S. stablecoin firm is a powerful signal for global payment rails
💡 While regulators push CBDCs, the market may be voting for USDC with real adoption.
